Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids Food Storage Containers, Racer Red, Set of 24 7J98

EDIT 4/2014: Updated sets and quantity data below; they had changed in the four years since I wrote this review. My containers are still going strong, though!I am very happy with the Easy Find Lid series. They are very good quality. But then, the many, many other reviewers who all also love this set will tell you that.So here's some information that is harder to find: all the sets of these that I could find available, and the contents of each set, all in one place.----------60 piece set (30 containers, 30 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)5 x 2 cups (473 mL)5 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)2 x 9 cups (2.1 Liter)1 x 14 cups (3.3 Liter)----------50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)5 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)1 x 9 cups (2.1 Liter)----------48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)3 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)1 x 14 cups (3.3 Liter)----------42 piece set (21 containers, 21 lids)4 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)4 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)5 x 2 cups (473 mL)4 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - Walmart only?)5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------36 piece set (18 containers, 18 lids):4 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)1 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------34 piece set (17 containers, 17 lids):4 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)1 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1200 mL)1 x 7 cups (1700 mL)----------30 piece set (15 containers, 15 lids):5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)3 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)1 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1200 mL)1 x 7 cups (1700 mL)----------28 piece set (14 containers, 14 lids):5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)3 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)1 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)1 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------24 piece set (12 containers, 12 lids):2 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)1 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)----------One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.Here's some comparison data for all the sets put together, with additional data for 2x28 piece, 2x24 piece, and 2x18 piece sets:1x60 piece set = 60 pieces: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 5x2, 5x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x9, 1x142x28 piece set = 56 pieces: 10x0.5, 6x1.25, 4x2, 2x3, 4x5, 2x71x50 piece set = 50 pieces: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 5x3, 3x5, 2x7, 1x91x48 piece set = 48 pieces: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 1x142x24 piece set = 48 pieces: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x71x42 piece set = 42 pieces: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 5x2, 4x3, 2x5, 2x71x40 piece set = 40 pieces: 5x0.5, 5x1.25, 4x2, 2x3, 2x5, 2x72x18 piece set = 36 pieces: 6x0.5, 4x1.25, 2x2, 4x3, 2x51x36 piece set = 36 pieces: 4x0.5, 5x1.25, 4x2, 2x3, 2x5, 1x71x34 piece set = 34 pieces: 4x0.5, 5x1.25, 4x2, 1x3, 2x5, 1x71x30 piece set = 30 pieces: 5x0.5, 3x1.25, 3x2, 1x3, 2x5, 1x71x28 piece set = 28 pieces: 5x0.5, 3x1.25, 2x2, 1x3, 2x5, 1x71x24 piece set = 24 pieces: 2x0.5, 2x1.25, 2x2, 2x3, 2x5, 2x71x18 piece set = 18 pieces: 3x0.5, 2x1.25, 1x2, 2x3, 1x5

The Rubbermaid Food Storage Containers are highly recommended. We particularly like the way the lids stack together and fit multiple container sizes. We've had 2 other less expensive sets by Glad and ?? which are very inferior. We donated them to Goodwill.We find we use the 2 and 3 cup containers the most. We seldom use the .5 or 1.25 cup containers.This is our second set of 24 Rubbermaid Food Storage Containers. We've enjoyed the first set of 24 so well, we ordered a second set. We like the 24 quantity set over the other options as it has an additional 2 cup container which we use frequently. Also, 2 of the 24 container sets are less expensive than a 48 or 50 container set.Another reviewer posted the following which is extremely helpful in understanding the differences between the various sets.50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)3 x 2 cups (473 mL)3 x 3 cups (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)2 x Divided 4.8 cups (1.4 Liter)----------48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)3 x 3 cups (710 mL)4 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)3 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)1 x 14 cup (3.3 Liter)----------40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - walmart only?)5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)4 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------36 piece set (18 containers, 18 lids):4 x 0.5 cup (118 mL)4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)5 x 2 cup (473 mL)4 x 3 cup (710 mL)3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------24 piece set (12 containers, 12 lids):2 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)2 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)----------18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)1 x 2 cups (473 mL)2 x 3 cups (710 mL)1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)----------

One of the main reasons I decided to buy this plastic container set is because (voila) it is BPA Free. Definitely important to me, as I already have plenty of plastic containers at home I intend to eventually toss and thought a matching set would be nicer.I deducted a star because I was slightly dissapointed at the fact that there are so many SMALLER containers in this set that really couldn't fit much expect spices, etc...this could possibly be good for people with smaller babies, or elderly or pets who need pureed food in small amounts. Nice and convenient.Overall I like this set and would recommend it for purchase to others, as long as you read (didn't do this myself) beforehand, the sizes of containers that are included in this box.The containers stack nicely as well as the lids. We are a family of 5, and yet I don't know if someone actually needs this much tupperware out at once? (particularly with the smaller containers).Bottom line, if you need new tupperware, this is a nice price to get BPA Free tupperware at (got free shipping and paid $10.47)
